Considering most Gizmodians – myself included – sit comfortably on the geek side of the manliness spectrum, that doesn’t mean we can ignore personal grooming. Well not for long, anyway. Fortunately, the good folks at Gillette reckon us geeks need looking after as well, so they’ve given us 25 Gillette Fusion Phenom packs to giveaway this week, so 25 of you can all enjoy what they reckon is their most comfortable shave. And if you happen to be a Holden fan, you’re in for an especially big treat.In the pack you’ll get a Gillette Fusion Phenom backpack (worth $19.95), a Gillette Phenom razor (worth $12.99), Gillette Fusion aftershave lotion (worth $9.99), Fusion Power Phenom Hydra Gel (worth $6.99) and a Holden team cap signed by Mark Skaife (It’s worth $29.95 unsigned, but who knows how much you could sell it on ebay for it’s worth with Mark’s signature?)
To enter, you need to tell us in 25 words or less, “What’s the closest shave you’ve ever had?” in the comments section below. The competition will close at 5pm on Friday May 1 and winners will be announced next Monday, May 4. Full Terms and Conditions can be viewed here (pdf file). Good luck!

Saturday, May 2, 2009 at 6:12 PMThe closest shave I’ve ever had: Occurs daily when I attempt to navigate my scooter through city traffic. A regular nailbiting experience!

Sunday, May 3, 2009 at 10:49 PMWell that one’s easy. 1968 at the SouthEast Asia Bash I got invited to by Uncle Sam – just to the South of a little spot know as Hue, the APC me a couple of other grunts were in ran over a mine. Got me a lifelong souvenir but an early discharge as well. Best close shave I’m EVER gonna have.
